On Saturday 30 November 2024, Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella had the honour of kicking off the end-of-year festivities. 

Accompanied by their parents, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, the 9-year-old twins turned on the illuminations, first on the Place du Palais Princier, then in the Place du Casino. These two moments officially mark the start of the end-of-year celebrations.

The celebrations then continued on the Place du Casino, where they were joined by Didier Guillaume, Minister of State, and Stéphane Valeri, CEO of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.

After pressing the button a second time, the twins were able to admire the magical illuminations on the Place du Casino, with a monumental 18-metre-high Christmas tree and decorations representing magical Christmas moments.
